Director of People | Jarvis | [Toronto/ Hybrid]
Want to lead the People function at a company whose mission is equalizing opportunity?

Jarvis is a Technology Advisory & Talent Solutions firm that brings brilliant minds together to build world-class technology. We hire for potential, and we invest in people who larger organizations often overlook. Here, imagination and curiosity count as much as skill. Now we need a Director of People to lead the function that makes it all work.

This isn’t a “keep the lights on” HR role. You’ll own HR strategy end to end: building programs, automating what’s still manual and coaching our leaders. You’ll also stay close enough to handle the hard conversations yourself.

What you’ll own:
Build and launch HR programs, policies and processes that move the business forward
Lead internal workforce planning and headcount planning, including interview design, comp recommendations and approvals
Streamline and automate the employee lifecycle: onboarding, offboarding, and comp and org changes

Employee relations & leadership
Be the trusted advisor to managers and employees on policy, conflict and tough calls
Own all HR escalations, terminations and disciplinary matters
Keep us compliant with labour law in every location we operate

Total rewards
Maintain our pay bands and pay equity,



and level current roles with our job evaluation tool
Own payroll across multiple streams in partnership with Finance
Manage contracts for internal staff and consultants

Culture & inclusion
Grow an inclusive culture that lives our mission and drives engagement and retention
Lead DEI strategy and programs
Drive internal and external community engagement

What you bring
7–10+ years of progressive HR experience, including 3–4+ years in leadership
Deep knowledge of HR best practice, employment law and organizational development
Prior experience working for a consulting firm (or similar industries)
A track record as an HR business partner who coaches senior leaders
The ability to drive change through complex organizational dynamics
Experience negotiating contracts and compensation
HRIS and ATS experience (we use HiBob)
A bachelor’s degree in HR, Business or a related field
CHRP or CHRL
Bilingual in English and French

Why Jarvis?
Room to shape the People function and put your stamp on it
A mission you’ll see in every hire we make
A team that values curiosity as much as credentials

This is a permanent role, hybrid with 2-3 days/week on site in downtown Toronto.
